Lessons and Show Program
Following an initial evaluation lesson and a discussion with parents or guardians, we'll work together to determine the best path for your rider. As your student progresses, we will continually assess their development to ensure they are advancing at the right pace. We’ll keep you informed and let you know when it's time to take the next step in their horsemanship journey.
Beginner Program
This introductory program will focus on
fostering independence in our riders and their confidence in being self-sufficient with the
basics of horse handling, horse care and riding. The lesson plan will prioritize a foundation in horsemanship and ground care along with the basics of under saddle work.
Riding time will be around 30 minutes depending on riders proficiency at getting ready and in the ring.
All lessons within the beginner program will be private or semi-private - no more than 2 students per class.
Academy Program
Now that the basics have been learned, trainers will be able to devote the full instruction time to mounted skill development. Riders will have 30 minutes before their scheduled lesson time to get their horse, groom and tack.
Lesson times will be the time they should be mounted and in the ring. Ride time will be 45 min – 1 hr. Skill development
at this level will include cantering, working through pole exercises and working up to jumping cross rails and low verticals.
Show Program
To participate in our show program, riders must first own or lease a horse. This requirement ensures that both rider and horse are well-matched and set up for success in the show ring.
When you or your rider is ready for a full lease or purchase, your trainer will be happy to discuss the next steps that will need to be taken. We participate in both the local
and A rated circuits.
